The paper of Robert "Beat Me" Fisk apologizes for something else:
In 1997, when this paper called for decriminalisation, 1,600 people were being treated for cannabis addiction. Today, the number is 22,000.
...[A]lmost half of those affected [are] under 18. With doctors and drugs experts warning that skunk can be as damaging as cocaine and heroin, leading to mental health problems and psychosis for thousands of teenagers, The Independent on Sunday has today reversed its landmark campaign for cannabis use to be decriminalised.When news hacks support something, we shouldn't count to ten -- we should count to ten million.
